Summary	04433: roundup5: Fails ROM test
Description	Fails it's "main_rom0" test in test mode.
Steps To Reproduce	Enable the test mode dipswitch, press the turbo button to advance to the "main_rom0" test and press start. It will fail.
Additional Information	This is related to the source note that this game "doesn't survive a reset;" the error received in service mode is the same error you receive if you reset the game from a running state. Resetting the game from service mode seems to skip this check and works properly, however resetting from in-game will fail.

No.07653 Tafoid Administrator Jul 22, 2011, 18:51	From the Rules and Guideline page: http://www.mametesters.org/rules.html Reset and Pause bugs are not bugs unless they crash (Noted by Aaron) Reset and pause functionality are both not game player oriented. This is by design. Most PCBs don't have a reset button, and even if they do, the reset behavior is undefined. It is the equivalent of the watchdog firing on a PCB. Some games behave well when this happens; others not so well. The pause functionality in MAME is there for developers to be able to tweak with game parameters during a pause to affect the video. Thus, the video is going to be odd or messed up in a lot of cases. " That said, the tests work fine so long as you do not soft reset (F3). Such unwelcome behaviors are possible and are not reportable emulation bugs unless it directly crashes the emulation. Closing.
